Handsome windows

Workers perched precariouslyon scaffolding repairing anIndian temple

Children at play in the street

Cooperative effort

The famous Bogyoke Marketဗိုလ်ချုပ်အောင်ဆန်းဈေးformerly Scott's Market being refurbished. If you lookclosely at the top right of the scaffolding on the towerthere is a man working even more precariously. Nosafety net. One advantage of this type of scaffoldingthough is you can still see the building!

Now you can see the worker clearly. I hate heights.Just looking at him gives me the eebie jeebies!
